简要总结
This study is designed to evaluate the clinical effects of the addition of metronomic oral vinorelbine to letrozole and anastrozole. The study will compare the efficacy and tolerability of oral metronomic vinorelbine administered in combination with letrozole or anastrozole, as treatment for hormone receptor-positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer without resistance to Aromatase Inhibitors (AI).
详细描述
Letrozole and Anastrozole are AI generally used as the first line of therapy for women with HR+ breast cancer.
Furthermore, present hormonal treatments of advanced breast cancer (ABC) or Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are sub-optimal, as only approximately one half of patients with oestrogen and/or progesterone receptor positive tumours will respond to therapy.
For this patient population, chemotherapy is a valid option, especially after failure or intolerance to hormone therapy. Both combination and sequential single-agent chemotherapy are reasonable options. Based on the available data, sequential monotherapy is recommended as the preferred choice for MBC. Preferred first-line chemotherapy single agents are anthracyclines, taxanes, capecitabine, gemcitabine and vinorelbine.
The development of oral chemotherapy formulations offer numerous benefits to patients, oncologists, oncology nurses, pharmacists and healthcare providers Metronomic therapy (MT) refers to repetitive, low doses of chemotherapy drugs. MT exerts an effect not only on tumor cells, but also on their microenvironment. In particular, the low-dose schedule compromises the repairing process of endothelial cells, leading to an anti-angiogenic effect. A systematic review of the results of phase I, II and III studies suggests that MT is a treatment option for breast cancer patients, has a low toxicity profile, efficacy in most patients and has potentially significant cost-effective advantages for public health.

- •Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+ or 2+. If IHC is 2+, a negative in situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required by local laboratory testing.
- •Patient must have either:
- •Measurable disease, i.e., at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST 1.1 criteria or,
- •At least one lytic bone lesion or . Non measurable disease
- •Patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status <2

- •Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L
- •Platelets ≥ 100 × 109/L
- •Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL
- •Normal calcium (corrected for serum albumin)
- •Serum creatinine should be below 2 x ULN
- •In absence of liver metastases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) should be below 2.5 × ULN. If the patient has liver metastases, ALT and AST should be < 5 × ULN.
- •Total serum bilirubin < ULN; or total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 × ULN with direct bilirubin within normal range of the central laboratory in patients with well documented Gilbert's Syndrome
- •Life expectancy > 16 weeks
排除标准

- •Patient with a known hypersensitivity to oral vinorelbine, létrozole, Anastrozole or any of the excipients or others vinca-alcaloïdes.
- •Patient who received any prior anti-cancer therapy (including chemotherapy) for advanced disease with the exception of surgery.
- •Patients who received (neo) adjuvant therapy for breast cancer are eligible. Prior therapy with letrozole or anastrozole in the (neo) adjuvant setting is permitted if the disease free interval is greater than 24 months from the completion of treatment.
